Some will say, as Europe goes, so will the US (eventually).

Well, two (2) different stories talking about unrest in Europe over unchecked immigration. (Sound familiar?). Although in the European sense, it is more complex and compounded by religion more than here (as of yet).

With Poland's recent election of a populist president, there seems to be a growing resistance to the globalists and their agendas, as well as the potential loss of historical European cultures and national identities.

JMHO, YMMV.

Europe is the beta test for globalism.

During the Crusades is that the inhabitants of the landmass across the Atlantic hadn't yet discovered America.

And here is a view of a European on America...

Good article, thanks for posting.

In the United States, if Americans know anything about the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, it’s that the AfD are a bunch of Nazi-adjacent hooligans who threaten to return Germany to Hitlerism. They know this because that’s what the American media tell them. Very few will bother to go online to find the English-language version of AfD’s party platform. If they did, they would find a wealth of common sense, and proposals that sound like ordinary GOP positions, even before the Trumpening of the Republican Party.

It’s the same thing in Europe, of course. In her speech last week at CPAC Hungary, AfD leader Alice Weidel said that in Germany, “politicians fear us like no other party, and for good reason.” The reason, of course, is that AfD tells the plain truth about the various crises besieging Germany, especially those caused by mass migration and Islamization. The German establishment would rather demonize and suppress all those who notice the fracturing of their country than deal forthrightly with the problems that their own globalist ideology and managerial, authoritarian liberalism have caused.

I don’t know, though, if Europeans understand how truly horrific things are in Germany for AfD politicians and their supporters. Last Friday, I attended a private meeting with some AfD lawmakers and party officials who were in Budapest for CPAC.

It is one thing to read about how the German state labors to marginalize the AfD. It is quite another to hear personal stories of harassment by the state and private institutions from people who, along with family members, are suffering them. The leaked thousand-page report the German domestic intelligence service prepared to justify classifying the AfD as “extremist”—a precursor to an outright ban—features “evidence” like a tweet from an AfD member who had simply said on social media that there is nothing shameful about being a German.

This pathological fear of ordinary humans who think and feel ordinary human things has led Germany to a state of what I call “soft totalitarianism,” and indeed one that is pushing the boundaries of the hard version.

Civil War Can’t Happen in Europe—Or Can it?

https://europeanconservative.c...in-europe-or-can-it/

Geert Wilders quit the coalition today effectively toppling the Dutch government because they were not making progress on immigration. Trump is finally overturning the globalism that was forced on the world after WWII.

the potential loss of historical European cultures and national identities.

Perhaps Europeans will choose surrender and submission, as the Western Roman Empire did, or had forced on it by its own feebleness in the face of the barbarian invasions. In which case, it is an open question as to which is the worse outcome: a civil war to save Europe, or no civil war at all?

But it's probably already too late for Britain:

This Neutered Isle: Britain After Britain

Peachy Keenan looks across the Atlantic, to her father’s homeland, for a dire warning of what might befall a country that does not defend its people, their freedoms, or their way of life.

My father emigrated to the United States from England in the 1940s, a few years after the Second World War. He was three years old and accompanied by his British mother, who had served in the Royal Air Force. His father was American, however, and from the instant my toddler father stepped off the boat in Manhattan, my grandfather set about turning his young son into the most American boy in New York.

But my very English grandmother clung to her traditions. Lace doilies and tea time. Scones and mince pies. And a very cute accent she had all her life, although it had faded by the time she died.

Americans shared her abiding love for the Queen and Winston Churchill widely. There was a powerful kinship between us, even if you couldn’t trace your direct ancestry back to the British Isles. The British were acknowledged as our cousins, distinguishable only by their accents and their teeth. Yes, all our best villains had English accents in our movies, but they were lovable villains.

I’m glad my grandmother is not here to see what’s become of her homeland.

My Australian friends used to insult British people by calling them “poms,” which, according to these Aussies, meant they were “prisoners of Mother England.” The etymology of the expression is murky, but suffice it to say that being a prisoner of the Queen’s Empire was considered a terrible fate.

In 2025, the surviving native-born British population seems to be increasingly trapped in an open-air penal colony formerly known as England.

Every day another dystopian example of British tyranny against its own people emerges, and the tyrannical oppression tightens around their necks. A single post on Facebook can get a Briton sentenced to years in prison.

In October of 2024, Lucy Connolly, a 42-year-old mother, was sentenced to 31 months in prison for posting “hate speech” on social media. Just this week, her appeal was denied.

Connolly was responding hours after the Somali teenager with a long knife stabbed three little girls to death in their dance class.

She posted this: “I’m absolutely f’ing done. If we don’t act now our country is finished. Mass deportation immediately, set fire to all the f’ing hotels full of the b******s for all I care, if that makes me racist so be it.”

She was simply expressing what everyone horrified by the wanton slaughter felt inside. In the wake of Rotherham and countless other knife attacks, Lucy Connolly responded with the only weapon she had available to her: her voice. Unfortunately, in the draconian upside-down world of modern Britain, expressing any views to the right of the feckless, self-hating government does, in fact make, you a racist — and racists are not allowed in England. (The only exception of course is racism against native-born white British citizens.)

Lucy Connolly will now have done more jail time than some actual murderers and rapists in the U.K. Was she calling for the actual burning of the immigrant hotels, or simply expressing that she is all out of empathy for the plight of these hordes of violent men filling her country? Is she being prosecuted for being anti-immigrant?

The prosecution even used unrelated texts they found on Connolly’s phone to convince the court that she had a pattern of “racism,” and therefore was a danger to the knife-wielding immigrant public.

This week, Tommy Robinson was released from prison after serving seven months, mostly in solitary confinement.

Robinson is an outspoken “anti-immigration” activist who was jailed for “repeating false allegations against a Syrian refugee.”

Both Connolly and Robinson have learned the hard way that the U.K. has no free speech, and in fact is actively persecuting native-born English people who dare even to hold opinions about immigration that are contrary to those of the government.

The Caliphate looms; it is inevitable, and the road to its gates is paved with the skulls of English children.

Many British people seem not to notice; or, if they do, their programming is so thorough that they police their own thoughts carefully. Prince William dances along a knife edge; I’m convinced he understands the precariousness of his own position, but his options are limited. To speak out against immigration would be to dig his own grave. Stay silent, however, and one day he will be king of a country that no longer exists.

Perhaps only someone looking at our trans-Atlantic cousins from behind the still-robust protections of our Bill of Rights can see the truth of what is happening in the United Kingdom. Maybe the British strains of Trump Derangement Syndrome and raging anti-Americanism have made the British blind to their own government’s petty depravities.

For almost 20 years now Americans have watched in horror as the British government aligned itself squarely against its own citizens, over and over again.

A multi-decade, multi-city sex trafficking ring run mostly by Pakistani immigrants enslaved and raped hundreds, thousands of white English girls as young as ten. Parents who tried to rescue their daughters were arrested and charged with racism and hate speech.

Crazed immigrants and their unassimilated offspring have committed hundreds of knife slaughters. The solution of the enfeebled nitwits in charge is to “ban knives,” of course. Sleepy English towns in the north are now majority Muslim, with all the vibrancy that comes with it. Not a native to be seen in the streets. In 1991, London was 80% native British. In 2021, this number had fallen to 36%. Queen Elizabeth oversaw the swift replacement of her own native people by new arrivals, all in the name of empathy and diversity. I suppose this is the final fruit of eighteenth century colonialism: one day your colonies end up ruling you.

But now we see that the real enemy to the British people is not the teeming mass of new arrivals unwilling to assimilate. The real enemy, as always, is their government. I suppose the colonizing spirit still endures in the British elite — only now, instead of conquering foreign lands to benefit the British, their leaders are content to allow the people of foreign lands to conquer Britain.

My 94 yr old English mother is in a state of disbelief about what is happening. Not quite denial, but also not quite able to grasp that this may be unrecoverable. I'm sure it doesn't help that she gets her news from the BBC daily.

She grew up during the 1930's and during WWII, so she remembers being in the Empire. She remembers true English culture and safe cities.

It is truly unexplainable how the adults in government are intentionally facilitating the destruction of their own country. Many of them are from long established English families, and at least middle aged or older. What is their end goal? What kind of society do they think they are building for their kids and grandkids?

Just so unbelievable that the Europeans have left themselves so open. Over the decades, I have seen how security in European countries has deteriorated so badly, and unexpectedly. I am not sure if the Europeans could resecure their countries, even if so inclined. I believe much of the blames goes to the creation of the European Union run by liberal bureaucrats and political figures like that communist Angela Merkel (research where she grew up and her indoctrination in her formative years in communist East Germany. The Germans have never repudiated her legacy. As far as the British, I have no words to explain how they ended up in the mess they have--certainly not the heirs of those brave souls who fought and endured during WWII.

OP here.

Aside from the articles that I linked, another thought has been on my mind, in regards to the looming debacle in Europe, which could eventually spread here.

All of these areas that are experiencing the detrimental immigration influx also have very strict firearms laws for the general populace. So, the criminals thrive. Same thing happens in our areas with strict gun control. Couple that with a selective justice (just us) system, and there they are.

No political party is perfect, but those with socialist tendencies (including our own democommunists) are the main purveyors of this situation. History shows that too. And we all know the expression regarding about forgetting history.

JHMO, YMMV.

Yep.

From the article I posted on Britain:

But guns are tools. So are knives. They don't commit crime... but you already know that.
Banning the tool does nothing to stop the crime.
